1.) Right now I am currently reading the fourth book in the Harry Potter series: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. In the book, the story begins fifty years in the past, with a kind of flash back to how his parents were killed and, and a man named Frank Bryce, was suspected of the crime, and later declared innocent. Frank Bryce wakes in the night to see a light in the window of the abandoned Riddle House. He investigates and overhears Voldemort and a man named Wormtail plotting to kill a boy named Harry Potter. Voldemort takes note of him and kills him on the spot. Harry Potter wakes up in the night with a throbbing pain in the scar Voldemort gave him. He worries that Voldemort is nearby, and he writes to Sirius Black, his godfather, mentioning the pain in his scar. The next morning Harry's Uncle receives a letter from the Weasleys asking Harry to join them at the Quidditch World Cup, and Vernon agrees to let Harry go.

2.) So far in this book I am really enjoying the plot of the book and how much detail it has and how descriptive the characters  Each chapter keeps getting more and more interesting as I turn the page. I really enjoy the way that Rowling includes everyone in every chapter and how each chapter is a layer. Chapters coming after are building off the last. At first the pages were going very slowly and I was considering quitting the book, but I kept reading and I am very happy that I have continued. Also I really enjoy how you feel when something is happening that you go right into that scene and you are watching everything as it is going on. You are taking the shoes of a character and seeing everything that they see and everything that they do.

3.) A theme in this book that I have noticed come up a lot is perseverance. Throughout the book the them of perseverance comes up several times. There are little bits here and there, but the part that really strikes me as having the most perseverance would have to be when Harry gets picked in the Goblet of Fire, and instead of leaving the competition, he later competes against people several years older than him and people that are much more talented in wizardry. Harry takes all the negatives that everyone gives him, and he perseveres for himself and represents Hogwarts in the Goblet of Fire very well for someone his age.

4.) My favorite character so far in this book would have to be Harry Potter because of his perseverance for happiness and success. He is very positive for a kid that is as young as he is and how he has had such a depressing childhood as he has. With his parents dying and some kids at Hogwarts bullying him. But he takes every negative in his life and tries to make it positive  but he has a lot of help from his two very close and supportive friends Hermoine and Ron. I also think that Ron and Hermoine are two of my second and third favorite characters because they are so helpful and supportive of Harry as he enters the Goblet of Fire competition.

5.) So far in the book, my least favorite character would have to the mean and dreadful Draco Malfoy. Draco really made me dislike his character because he is one of the bullies that bullies my favorite charectar Harry Potter. But also I slightly do like him because if he didn't bully Harry, Hermoine and Ron, then none of them would have to persevere and become stronger people then if they just were left alone by Draco. But Draco is just a cruel person to everyone at Hogwarts, no one does anything to stop it because of his father's high rank as a wizard.

6.) What I think will happen next in the book is that Harry will continue in the Goblet of Fire competition and that in the end he will survive it come out as the champion. Also I think that something very bad will happen to someone at the school and they will end up very hurt or could be dead. Hopefully nothing will happen to Harry, Ron and Hermoine and that they end the book better than they started it. In the end of this book I also hope that Harry finds some hope for his family, maybe a lost relative will be found or discovered, or someone he doesn't know will emerge and tell him who it is.
